Be the Light - Glow in the Dark 5K

Prepare to light up the night at the Be the Light - Glow in the Dark 5K, an inspiring event taking place on March 21, 2026, in scenic Holland, MI. This unique 5K invites runners and walkers of all levels to illuminate the darkness, both literally and figuratively, as they participate in a race dedicated to mental health awareness. The course, starting and finishing at Moran Park, is known for its easy route, offering a fun and accessible experience for everyone. As twilight descends, typical race day conditions in late March bring highs around 47F and lows around 30F, with a low 11% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp and invigorating atmosphere for your glowing journey.

What truly sets this race apart is its captivating glow-in-the-dark theme, encouraging participants to adorn themselves with neon and glow sticks to become a vibrant stream of light. Runners consistently praise the festive ambiance and the memorable "light tunnel" that greets them at the finish line, making for an exhilarating conclusion. More than just a race, the Be the Light 5K is a powerful fundraiser for Beacon of Hope, a non-profit counseling agency providing essential, barrier-free mental health services at no cost. Your participation directly contributes to their mission, helping to raise funds for individual counseling sessions and combating the stigma surrounding mental health.

Join a community united by fitness and a vital cause. This event offers not only a chance to invest in your own physical and mental well-being but also to be a beacon of hope for others. With participation medals for all finishers and a well-supported course featuring aid stations, the Be the Light - Glow in the Dark 5K promises an unforgettable experience that champions mental health and lights up the Holland night.
